Stitches West 2010

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Just returned home from teaching at Stitches West at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Feb. 25-28.  I taught a full slate of 6 classes over the weekend.  It was great fun visiting with old friends and meeting new knitting buddies too.  A new feature at this event was the “Meet the Teachers” at the opening day luncheon. Each teacher spent 2 minutes at each table meeting the guests and talking about their classes.  It was loud; it was chaotic (teachers don’t follow instructions very well!); it was a lot of fun.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and it made an exciting start to the weekend.

“Hi” to Tonya and Resa from my Buttonhole class; Barbara from the Dorset button workshop; Billie , Myra, Whit, and Laura — thanks for your enthusiasm for intarsia; and special “hi” to Ruby in the Steeks class.  This special lady used to knit for Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.  It was a delight to meet you!
